No river captures the essence of a city like the river Seine does. The river is the lifeline of Paris, and also it’s most beautiful attraction. It is no wonder that the city developed around this huge water body and most of the major sights in the city are located along the riverfront. Hop-on Hop-off boat tours operating on the river are very popular among tourists. But me, I chose to walk along the banks of the river at a leisurely pace the whole day, basking in the wonderful weather, soaking in the famous sights and also discovering quaint little book stores and delicious eateries along the way. This is how Paris is to be truly discovered!
